JEE Main & Advanced Physics Photo Electric Effect, X- Rays & Matter Waves Question Bank Photon and Photoelectric Effect

  • question_answer
    The lowest frequency of light that will cause the emission of photoelectrons from the surface of a metal (for which work function is 1.65 eV) will be                                                                [JIPMER 2002]

    A)            \[4\times {{10}^{10}}Hz\]       

    B)            \[4\times {{10}^{11}}Hz\]

    C)            \[4\times {{10}^{14}}Hz\]       

    D)            \[4\times {{10}^{-10}}Hz\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       Minimum frequency : \[{{W}_{0}}=h{{\nu }_{0}}\]            Þ \[{{\nu }_{0}}=\frac{{{W}_{0}}}{h}=\frac{1.65\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}}=4\times {{10}^{14}}Hz\]
